London rivals Arsenal and Brentford go head-to-head in the Premier League this afternoon and the 3pm clash will be live on talkSPORT 2.
Brentford beat the Gunners 2-0 in the reverse fixture on the opening day of the season with Sergi Canos and Christian Norgaard on target.
The Bees kicked on and enjoyed a fine start to life in the top-flight while their north London rivals struggled.
But the two have been in very different form since with Brentford slipping down the table and Arsenal now pushing on towards the top-four.
Both will be eager for three points this Saturday and it should be an exciting watch.

Arsenal v Brentford: What has been said?
Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard: “I think we’re a very, very interesting group – a lot of young players, and a lot of hungry players.
“I feel like we’re building something special here with all the players and the staff.
“It’s really interesting what we’re trying to do and I’m happy with the situation, very happy to be part of the team and hopefully we can keep improving and get better each game. Then we’ll see where it takes us.
“It helps me to be around players in the same situation [in terms of age].
“I’ve been through a lot, even though I’m pretty young. In this team I’m not the youngest anymore and I have some experience and I can use that in a positive way, and help the other young players.
“We’re a great group, we have a lot of big young talents but also some more experienced players, I think the mix is good and the team is very hungry. It’s really nice to be part of the team.”
